 Hi everybody,
 
 I'd like to announce that FoxtrotGPS 1.1.1 has been released,
 and can now be downloaded from http://www.foxtrotgps.org/.
Thanks for the info. Just looked at the roadmap, but couldn't find it:
do you plan to support maps in vector format? They are way smaller than
tiles, which is essential for GPS software, where you do not have
internet access.

If you want vector maps you might want to look at monav.

Hi,

the openbmap project proposes a Web API for getting location, based on 
the GSM data or WiFi.


The data is available for offline use too.

http://openbmap.org/api/openbmap_api.php5

Your example about navit, has been a target use case for the project for 
a long time ;-) (speeding up the GPS fix).


The server side which used to be closed source has been released as open 
source, and the server is currently being transmitted to a new 
maintainer, after Nick decided to decrease activity on the project.

what did you have in mind for the geolocating via gsm towers and wifi?

do you know any projects which make use of such data (triangulation). this
might be very interesting to enhance navit's routing possibilities if it
takes to long to get a gps-fix.


Geoclue[1] is an open location system that is supposed to agregate data from
multiple sources including gps. AFAIK there isn't an openbmap plugin for it
yet. Gsmloc is mentioned for cell tower triangulation but a cursory look
suggests it's no longer active.
